Answer:
The value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e ≅0.607
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call f the rate function f. Note that f(x) = k * x^2ln(1/x), where k is a positive constant (this is because f is proportional to the other expression). In order to compute the maximum of f in (0,1), we derivate f, using the product rule.
We need to equalize f' to 0
- k*(2x ln(1/x) - x) = 0 -------- We send k dividing to the other side
- 2x ln(1/x) - x = 0 -------- Now we take the x and move it to the other side
- 2x ln(1/x) = x -- Now, we send 2x dividing (note that x>0, so we can divide)
- ln(1/x) = x/2x = 1/2 ------- we send the natural logarithm as exp
- 1/x = e^(1/2)
- x = 1/e^(1/2) = 1/√e ≅ 0.607
Thus, the value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e.
Answer:
P = 9 is the max value
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketch
2x + 4y = 10
with x- intercept = (5, 0) and y- intercept (0, 2.5)
x + 9y = 12
with x- intercept = (12, 0) and y- intercept = (0, )
Solve
2x + 4y = 10 and x + 9y = 12 to find the point of intersection at (3, 1)
The region corresponding to the solution of the system of constraints
Has vertices at (0, ), (0, 0) , (5, 0) and (3, 1)
Now evaluate the objective function at each vertex.
(0, 0) can be excluded as it will not give a maximum
(5, 0) → P = 5 + 0 = 5
(0, ) → 0 + 8 = 8
(3, 1) → 3 + 6(1) = 3 + 6 = 9 ← maximum value
Thus the maximum value is 9 when x = 3 and y = 1
